The first two panels could be combined, or the "last straw" responce could have been the last pannel and the "Get the F out" could be the first panels of the next page and hang there to give it weight. There's lots of ways to make it work and why would we need to go about "fitting it in in limited space". It's not like Jeph has an editor to answer to to say "hey trim this down", he can pace it however he wants.
I don't feel like we have earned the blowout based on what we have seen so far in this page. At least with faye's mood building up. We can get there, but I don't feel like it was earned quite yet.
